The car I'm starting with that I picked up in a recent collection is a little rough. It appeared to be fairly clean, but as I tear into it, I've found some things in need of replacement. The belts were completely disintegrated, One of the pulleys is shot and another is worn enough to make me frown about it. All of the bearings need a thorough cleaning and possible replacement depending on how the cleaning goes. On the upside, the car seems to be complete and I couldn't find anything broken. I ordered a new belt set from tough racing, a new body from TBG and a new set of pulleys. As soon as the pulleys arrive I'll get started. The car came with 2 front yellow wheels and 2 white rears. I was going to dye them all black, but a track buddy of mine has been looking for a set of rear whites, so I'm trading him for a set of yellows.
Also as a side note, for those of you wondering about the cheaper brushless esc's, I will be testing one in this car. I have a few different brushless esc's these days, but I wanted to see how cheap I could go. I ordered the cheapest sensored brushless esc I could find on ebay. It was $16.79 and free shipping. It claims to have 120a continuous and 760a burst rating and uses a Hobbywing program card. My first reaction at these numbers is "cough cough" bull$#@t
